Huh, I had an aunt who died from a dye reaction about 30 years ago. I don't know if anyone else has had those tests, but it's something to mention if it comes up.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Burrell, that's actually not an uncommon reaction (though it sounds a little more hard core if the stuff hadnt really started yet). Often they pre-medicate with Benadryl and some other stuff, if needed for that kind of reaction.

Wow. NYPD has identified Baby Hope. She was a little girl who was found dead, stuffed in a cooler, in 1991, and there had been pretty much no leads. The police tried putting up fliers again this summer, to see if it would jog someone's memory about something, and a woman came forward and said, basically, that she had talked to this other woman several years ago, and the other woman had mentioned that her younger sister had been killed when they were kids, and the story seemed kind of weird at the time, but now that she saw the posters, she realized that some of the details matched up with that little girl. So the police looked into it, and tested DNA, and she was right. They haven't released her name yet -- still questioning her family, and the police are pretty sure that no one will say anything if their name gets released to the press -- but still. I remember seeing that case on the news when I was a kid. [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

She had been premedicated, meara. Benadryl and Zofran.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thank you for not actually fixing my computer, Apple Support, and for returning it with a screw in the power supply socket, and it unable to run the pre-OS hardware diagnostics. I can't even restore my three week old backup onto the blank hard drive you gave me.
(I did wonder why a bad hard drive cable affected its ability to browse network drives, but it's a computer. Weird things are par for the course.)
I hate the Genius Bar with a fiery passion, and I'm back for the third time in a week this afternoon.

allergy to medical dye. I hadn't heard of such a thing, but I guess anything's possible since latex allergies are out there.
